I'm against of doing that during the transition. More generally, I'm
against adding *anything* which can potentially slow down the
transition, and your plan above is in that category as it increases the
number of sourceful upload we need to do. It also adds potential points
of failures (like, as dumb as it might seem, typo in specifying
dependencies).
Also I do not see the urgency of doing it now, as the CDBS class which
we have now is probably the one we will have for Lenny, as I doubt we
are willing to do radical changes in this point before the release. Are
we?
Still, once the transition is done nothing will inhibit doing the split.
At least at that point only the packages actually using CDBS will be
involved, whereas right now all will forcibly be involved as all need to
transition together.
Just my 0.02€.
Cheers.
